The malacology collection houses rare, EW (extinct in the wild) Hawaiian land snails with the goal of re-
establishing native populations within the island. Captive rearing interns will assist in a wide variety of
duties associated primarily with this live land snail collection. These include, but are not limited to, captive rearing of rare and endangered live snails, maintenance of snail habitats and supplies, and census recording of individuals. Initiatives are in partnership with the USDA’s Snail Extinction Prevention
Program, where outreach and education activities aimed at informing conservation staff of partner
agencies and the general public may be required. Due to COVID19 pandemic restrictions, field outings
will be limited or on hiatus until further notice.

specimen distributions using GIS based applications. Interns will gain experience in using digital imaging systems, macro photography, image editing tools, collection management databases, mollusc taxonomy, and geography. 

Informatics subprojects include:

  • Mobilizing locality data (georeferencing) to create and analyze species distributional changes across islands (Stipend $1200 for 120 hours)
  • Gathering trait data from museum collection data and/or literature to study the drivers of species extinction/preservation
  • Parsing taxonomic records into a database format for upload into taxonomic aggregators (ie. WoRMs, MolluscaBase)
